“It’s as simple as that, we had all sorts of promises about $275 power bill cuts, and we’re getting quite the opposite,” Mr Antic told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“It does seem as though Australians can unfortunately look at the possibility of further interest rate rises.”

Labor has ‘repeatedly and tragically failed’ to learn the lessons of border protectionSky News host Chris Kenny says Labor has “repeatedly and tragically failed” to learn the hard lessons of border protection in Australia.

Labor relaxing border rules shows they will ‘buckle’ under pressureShadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan says Labor relaxing border rules shows the government's “priorities” are “all wrong”. “They can apply for as many visas as they see fit, and the unfair thing here, Paul, is they have been prioritised above, for instance, visas into regional and rural communities to provide doctors, nurses, teachers, that are much needed in those communities,” Mr Tehan told Sky News host Paul Murray. “What we’re seeing once again is this government’s priorities are all wrong. “The message this sends out to the people smugglers is that if you test the will of a Labor government, you know that in the end, one way or another that they will buckle, and that is the really concerning thing about this.”
